The Northern lights are at their most frequent
in late autumn and winter/early spring. October,
February and March are the best months for
auroral observations. The highest northern
lights frequency is between 6 pm and 1 am.

To get full value from the show you should
avoid the full moon and places with a lot
of light as they make the experience considerably
paler.

The Aurora Borealis

Seeing the northern lights is a mystical
moment. Sometimes the northern lights come
all together, dancing across the sky, orange,
purple, green and sunset red. Other times
they are simply curtains of computer-screen
green or a twister of wispy light. The northern
lights are never the same twice.

The Northern Lights; nature's own light
show, are solar winds that meet the atmosphere
in a zone around the magnetic North Pole,
forming arches, waves and curls of light
moving across the sky, with sudden rays of
light shooting down from space.
